9.1: Online Resources

`http://cag-www.lcs.mit.edu/mailcrypt/'

"Mailcrypt: An Emacs/PGP Interface", by Pat LoPresti. This page has been the Mailcrypt homepage since October 10, 1995. It is still the distribution site for version 3.4 of Mailcrypt--a rock-solid version still to be recommended if you use only PGP 2.6.x.

`http://world.std.com/~franl/crypto.html'

"Cryptography, PGP, and Your Privacy", by Fran Litterio. This page is simply excellent. It makes all the other References in this chapter redundant, but we will include them anyway for redundancy.

`http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html'

MIT is the canonical distribution site for PGP; this is the announcement page.

`ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/alt.security.pgp/'

This is an archive site for the `alt.security.pgp' FAQ lists.

`news:alt.security.pgp'

The `alt.security.pgp' newsgroup is a good place to go for discussion about PGP, as well as any topic which any fool anywhere ever thinks is related to PGP. It is also a good last resort for getting answers to questions, but please read the FAQ lists first.

`http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html'

Brian LaMacchia (bal@zurich.ai.mit.edu) has put together a World Wide Web interface to the public key servers (see Key Servers). Mailcrypt uses this interface by default when attempting to fetch keys via HTTP (see HTTP Fetch); most people get to his interface through this page.

`ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/cypherpunks/Home.html'

The Cypherpunks are dedicated to taking proactive measures to ensure privacy in the digital age. They wrote the software for, and operate many of, the anonymous remailers currently in existence.

`http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/'

Raph Levien actively maintains a remailer list which Mailcrypt knows how to parse. If you are impressed by how easy it is to configure Mailcrypt's remailer functions, Raph is the one to thank. Raph's page also has many useful links.

`http://www.obscura.com/~loki/'

Lance Cottrell is the author of Mixmaster. His home page is the canonical source for information on Mixmaster and is a good source for PGP pointers in general.
